This sounds strange, indeed.  In particular if there was no libffi.so,
then the compilation should not succeed.

Did you compile libffi yourself from libffi-sable*.tar.gz ?

If so, then you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to
the directory with *so* files from libffi, see

	http://sablevm.org/wiki/LibFFI

 Alternatively you could:
a) install libffi-sable with --prefix=/usr/local and it usually is
  picked up automatically. If not, you can add /usr/local/lib directory
  to /etc/ld.so.conf).
b) add directory with libffi*so* to /etc/ld.so.conf

Remember to run 'ldconfig' as root if you modify /etc/ld.so.conf.


If you did not compile libffi-sable yourself, show us the output of

ls -l /usr/lib/libffi*
